Emotes

Emotes are fun animations used to convey emotions or gestures within the ESO. Elder Scrolls Online includes 172 known emotes. They are typically simple expressions, like the emote /angry which conveys the emotion anger. Others can be more complex and whimsical; for instance, the emote /cuckoo signifies a silly gesture, while the emote /lute causes the player to play a guitar-like instrument (pictured above).

To use an emote simply open the chat bar in the game and type "/" before using one of the words listed below; example, "/applaud". After entering the emote the character will become animated. If you have targeted another player while entering your emote, your character will display the emote towards that player. A common error made when using emotes is to put spaces in between multiple words, this is incorrect (ie. "applebanana" not "apple banana"). Simply use the backslash and type the words combined; example, "/facepalm".
